Chapter 10 Chapter 10 The forest suddenly caught fire...
The forest caught fire in an instant, and the scorching fog covered the direction of escape. Screams and cries for help came one after another from the depths of the forest, desperate and hoarse.
Skyfire - no one expected that the first round of natural disasters would be skyfire. Si Qi's scalp tingled at that moment, but she had no time to think. The team of psychics in the shallow layer ahead had already been found. She grabbed Si Ruxu's hand, tore through space, and quickly escaped according to the mark made before.
After a few flashes, Si Qi teleported to a small hillside. The forest fire had spread to the edge. The water-based mutant put out the fire in a small area. That small area was now full of heads. Outside the forest, those teams that were originally in the shallows also escaped and walked further inside.
Si Qi looked up at the sky. The original nine thousand people on the sky were now halved, leaving only more than four thousand people. Si Qi pinched his fingers, and his joints made a "click" sound.
"Si Ruxu." Si Qi's voice trembled faintly. "Are natural disasters random, or are they designed by Him based on our situation, so that they are most likely to kill us?"
Si Ruxu frowned and looked down. The people below seemed to want to move closer to the mountain. Facing the sky fire, this bare hillside was a favorable environment. The people trapped in the sky fire huddled together, and the water-based mutants kept extinguishing the flames in order to survive.
Seeing all this, Si Ruxu shrank her fingers and said, "I don't know."
She was too weak. Facing the natural disaster and the thing that controlled the end of the world, even if she was already the best of humanity, everyone was just a pawn.
The sky is refreshed at this moment:
Surviving superpowers: 4,357
Next natural disaster refresh time: 24 hours
Time remaining to complete the game: six days and twenty hours.
The survivors below were roughly divided into two large groups. One group was still in the forest, but the forest had been burned to ashes, and the other group was moving towards the mountain.
Because so many psychics died in the forest, there seemed to be many more psychics leaning towards the mountain.
Si Qi sat on the top of the mountain, looking down, cross-legged, absorbing the energy core to replenish his energy, and pressed one hand on Si Ruxu's abdomen to replenish her energy.
Si Ruxu also sat on the top of the mountain. The rocks on the top of the mountain were not comfortable to sit on, and there were many broken stones and branches. The sky gradually darkened. In order not to attract attention, Si Ruxu only took a crystal core for lighting so that the vision would not be completely dark.
To be on the safe side, the people at the foot of the mountain only settled there. A small number of people went a little further up the mountain. They built a fire and caught some prey on the mountain to roast and eat. There was still time before the next natural disaster, and they couldn't let themselves go hungry.
Escape requires physical strength. More than two thousand people with special abilities picked up almost all the edible rabbits, weeds and fruits at the bottom of the mountain.
Si Qi nibbled on the fruit and dried meat Si Ruxu had given him and asked, "Why do you still have fruit?"
"I saved what the plant gave me because I didn't finish it," she said as she opened a bottle of milk and handed it to Si Qi. The milk came in an iron box with printed patterns on all four sides, as if it could protect it from pressure and shock. Milk was a scarce resource in the apocalypse.
Si Qi took a sip of the milk and her eyes curved in an instant. She used to like drinking it very much, but she hadn't drunk it since the end of the world. She thanked Si Ruxu with her eyes shining a little.
Si Ruxu nodded somewhat awkwardly. She just wanted Si Qi to replenish some strength. Only then did she remember that he liked drinking milk very much.
Si Ruxu had never asked why before. She only knew that even if she liked to drink, she did so very restrainedly, only every other day and only from one bag, like a child waiting for snacks. Si Ruxu didn't delve into these things. Even when she loved Si Qi the most, she didn't wonder about her past.
Consciousness gradually returned. There were only ten hours left on the sky screen, so Si Ruxu moved the bed out. Fortunately, it was only the signal that was interfered with, and the basic functions of the bracelet could still be used. Si Ruxu set an alarm for nine hours.
When she lay down on the bed, she turned sideways and looked at Si Qi who was sleeping next to the dead tree. Her voice tightened, "Come and sleep with me."
Si Qi turned around and saw that the woman on the bed had closed her eyes. She had just moved aside and the green energy slowly climbed up her body and wiped her clean.
After the slightly itchy touch passed, Si Qi carefully got on the bed and felt herself sinking into a soft cloud. She rolled a few centimeters and quickly calmed down.
Having money is comfort.
"Si Qi."
In the darkness, Si Ruxu's voice was very soft and gentle, like an illusion. Si Qi was still carefully keeping her distance. Her fatigue could not cover up the joy in her heart. She turned sideways, and a familiar fragrance lingered at the tip of her nose.
"What's wrong?" She lowered her voice unconsciously.
"If there is no way to end it after five major crackdowns, what should we do then?" Through the light of the supernatural core on the bedside, Si Qi caught a glimpse of the fragility and uneasiness that flashed in Si Ruxu's eyes, which disappeared in just a moment.
Her heart tightened at that moment, and even breathing hurt. The suppressed emotions were like a flood, almost breaking her inner defenses. But at the moment of destruction, she pulled herself together again and regained her sanity.
After a long time, she heard her own voice, "I will find it, no matter what the cost."
Si Qi closed his eyes until the uneasiness and pain in his heart gradually subsided. No matter what the cost, except Si Ruxu.
It was easy for her to accept the fact. She still loved Si Ruxu and that had never changed. So when Si Ruxu appeared, all those years of so-called healing for herself were in vain.
If the world is about to be destroyed, her wish is that Si Ruxu can live well in another world that has not been disturbed by the end of the world and live her own life.
Si Ruxu's breathing gradually evened out, and she fell asleep. She hadn't asked Si Qi for an answer to this question; she simply felt helpless. The road ahead was too difficult, too arduous, and too uncertain. But she thought, if she could get some sleep, she could conserve her energy and continue the journey tomorrow.
She has always been on the journey and has never stopped for anyone, not even for the young Si Qi.
So she will keep going.
Si Qi looked at Si Ruxu's profile and it took him a long time to fall asleep.
When she opened her eyes again, Si Ruxu was no longer by her side, nor was her comfortable bed. All around her was a blood mist, with no sign of human life. Si Qi stood up and looked around. For some reason, she felt a sense of closeness to the blood mist, as if they had known each other for a long time.
Si Qi kept walking in one direction, as if being summoned by a sense. In front of her was a lake. The water was clear and blue, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. Si Qi looked up. Even though there was only gray mist in the sky, she felt that the water was nurturing countless lives, lives that she could not see.
She stayed by the lake; this was her mission. Suddenly, one day, the blue of the lake became tainted by a variety of colors. The colors grew larger and larger, nearly engulfing the blue. She felt a surge of rage, and the blood mist around her slowly materialized as her rage grew, rushing into the lake.
The lake was boiling, and the blue and the colorful ones were constantly fighting. The blue gradually gained the upper hand, but the colorful ones were like a group of cockroaches, which could not be killed or eliminated. As time passed, she became more and more irritated. She controlled the blood mist around her to cut her fingers and drip the blood into the lake.
The lake water slowly rippled, then slowly stopped boiling and returned to silence, and the blue in the lake water gradually covered the other colors.
She fell asleep contentedly, dreaming of blue sky and white clouds, new leaves growing on the treetops, and young grass growing under the tiles in the alleys. It was her hometown under the sun.
She heard a voice calling her name gently, which became more intense after a few calls. At first, it came from a distance, then it got closer and closer, until it sounded like it was right next to her ear. She suddenly opened her eyes.
She met a pair of amber eyes, so quiet and beautiful, like the lake she had seen.
Si Ruxu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her wake up, "Did you have a nightmare?"
Si Qi shook her head. She didn't remember what she had just dreamed about, but her intuition told her it wasn't a nightmare. "What happened?"
Si Ruxu looked at Si Qi. She had just been woken up by the alarm clock, but she couldn't wake Si Qi up no matter what she did. Gradually, she found that Si Qi had no breath at all, as if he was dead.
She anxiously used her special powers, but she could not get close to Si Qi's body. She was like a dried-up pool, isolating herself from all rescue efforts. The blood-red lines at the corners of her eyes slowly spread all over her body.
She used all her supernatural powers to try to break through the barrier surrounding Si Qi's body. Finally, she felt that Si Qi responded to her voice. She called her over and over again. After Si Qi's breathing finally returned to normal, she used her supernatural powers to protect her heart and then forcibly woke her up.
After briefly listening to Si Ruxu's description, Si Qi broke out in a cold sweat. She had a dream, and a large-scale massacre tried to kill her in the dream. Why?
She looked up at the sky. There were only ten minutes left before the next natural disaster. The psychics at the bottom of the mountain became anxious and started fires, making it as bright as day.
Si Ruxu held Si Qi's hand and comforted him, "I won't let anything happen to you."
After a pause, she said, "Your dream definitely contains information about the end of the world. After we return to the base, we will have a psychic with special abilities guide you and restore your dream."
Si Qi nodded, ignoring the slight rejection in her heart. Time passed by minute by minute. She looked down and reviewed her escape routes for various situations in her mind.
Si Ruxu had consumed too much of her supernatural power, and Si Qi passively and frantically absorbed the supernatural power cores in his pocket, and then injected them into Si Ruxu's body to replenish her energy.
As the time drew closer, the crowd became more and more agitated, until at the last second, a loud rumbling sound came from the bottom of the mountain—
Someone yelled, "It's a landslide, a mudslide, everyone run!"
A huge mudslide started rolling down from halfway up the mountain, crushing people along the way. Some people screamed and died halfway.
Si Qi stood on the top of the mountain. The ground beneath her feet could collapse at any time. She looked towards the forest.
The people with special abilities in the woods were safe and sound.
